The project will cost an estimated $214 million at no cost to taxpayers. Renovations should be completed by mid-2021.

“This is a lengthy, complex process, and it’s crucial that we do it right in order to deliver the best possible airport experience for Memphis travelers,” said Pace Cooper, Chairman of the Memphis-Shelby County Airport Authority Board of Commissioners. “We’ve made progress thus far, and more significant changes are on the horizon. These changes are all part of a project that will result in a modern, convenient, state-of-the-art airport for our passengers, airlines, concessionaires, and other partners.”

The airport’s original modernization announcement came in 2014, with those plans having already gone into motion.

The B Concourse will be closed during construction, while A and C handle duties.
